10 DEVELOPMENT. PART ONE: PART ONE. The Rationale for Programming The Rationale for Programming for early Child Development for early Child Development We know that 10 million children are dying each year due mainly to preventable causes. But far less well known is that 200 million children under 5 in the developing world, over one-third of all children, are not fulfilling their potential for development 1. Because of poverty, under nutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, and learning environments that do not provide enough responsive stimulation, children are developing more slowly, or failing to develop, critical thinking and learning skills. This could affect their entry into school, their performance and persistence through school, and their eventual success in life. For disadvantaged children, this initial deficit has a multiplying effect: children raised in poverty complete far less education than middle class children, due in part to their lowered ability to learn in school.
